Sneak Peek! Gaston’s Tavern MENU and Photos In the New Fantasyland

Welcome to the Disney Food Blog. If you enjoy this post, you should check out the tour of the site to see all the great Disney Food information we have.

Woo-hoo!!!! More awesomeness from New Fantasyland!

This time — we get to see the MENU for Gaston’s Tavern, a brand new counter-service location in the Magic Kingdom! And — bonus — we get a peek INSIDE as well! Let’s go beyond the New Fantasyland Castle Wall for a look…

Wall into the New Fantasyland in Disney World's Magic Kingdom

Belle’s Village inside the New Fantasyland at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom began an early soft opening today, and we’ve got the details! Check out these fun peeks at Gaston’s Tavern and Bonjour! Village Gifts.

Gaston’s Tavern

First up, let’s take a little tour of what you’ll experience when you head into Gaston’s Tavern in Disney World’s New Fantasyland. Thanks to the Disney Parks Blog for some wonderful pics!

Out front of Gaston’s Tavern, the centerpiece fountain features a comical look at Gaston and LeFou.

And here’s what you’ll see right before you enter Gaston’s Tavern!

Outside Gaston's

When the doors swing open, you’ll see Gaston’s larger-than-life portrait on the wall.

Also on the wall, you’ll see the score from a recent game of darts between Gaston and LeFou. Wonder who’s winning…

Gaston’s hunting gear is on display for all to admire!

Gaston's Bow and Arrows

And his animal trophies hang on the wall, celebrating his prowess, of course.

True to Gaston’s love of decorating with Antlers, this over-the-top chandelier is a feature of the space.

But enough of the atmosphere — let’s take a look at the EATS!

Gaston’s Tavern Menu

While gooey cinnamon rolls and cold milk remain, a hearty pork shank ($7.99) has been added. (As “le shank du jour” of course!) We can’t wait to see if these become competition for the beloved turkey legs elsewhere in Disney World!

Gaston's Specialty Items -- Pork Shank and LeFou's Brew

A visit to the Tavern can also include chocolate croissants, fresh fruit and veggies, hummus, and drinks. Be sure to check out those Disney Dining Plan options! Note that the pork shank originally had a DDP snack credit logo next to it, but that’s now been covered up. (Thanks to Kelly Tressler for the updated menu photo!)

Of course, as we mentioned before, there will be a specialty drink – LeFou’s Brew – a no-sugar added frozen apple juice with a hint of toasted marshmallow, then topped with all-natural passion fruit-mango foam. The souvenir goblets make this “brew” extra fun!

LeFou's Brew

If you don’t stop by the tavern for a LeFou’s Brew, stop here at the “water pump” for a sip of water.

Bonjour! Village Gifts

After a stop at Gaston’s, step on over to the new gift shop: Bonjour! Village Gifts! This Disney merch location has merchandise inspired by details found in the New Fantasyland’s Belle Village as well as the film “Beauty and the Beast”.

Everyone needs a Gargoyle Chalice in their castle — especially one reminiscent of the guards of Beast’s Castle!

Bring home the elegance found at the castle when you purchase dinnerware pieces or stemware decorated with silhouettes of Beauty and the Beast!

Beauty and the Beast Dinnerware

A specialty light-up castle goblet or Gaston stein will help you toast to your day in the New Fantasyland.

Belle items make practical take-home souvenir. I kind of dig the towels (Note that Reader Emily informs us that those cute “towels” are actually scarves! ;-)) Whoops!

Belle Kitchenware

And you should always give your “Beauty” a chocolate rose.

But what else is available for eats?

Maurice’s Amazing Popping Machine

Belle’s father himself invented Maurice’s Amazing Popping Machine. It’s an adorable kiosk for your popcorn cravings while in this part of the New Fantasyland. (Many of you have seen this specialty popcorn kiosk in Fantasyland for a while now. It’s finally been moved to it’s true location!)

While in this early soft-opening of these spots in New Fantasyland, there is no guarantee that these new venues will be open each day. Look for the official soft opening to begin on November 19th with a grand opening on December 6th.

Where will you head first in the New Fantasyland? Tell us what you’ll order at Gaston’s Tavern!

Eek!! I hope all of this is open when I am there for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon!! I want to try LeFou’s Brew…but I especially want to check out the merch. Looks like there’s a teacup in the dinnerware photo you have, and I am a big tea drinker so that is right up my alley!

I wanted to take my family to dine hear when I first read about its soft opening on Disney Parks Blog. Is there anyway to call and check if its open? I don’t understand why it would be open sometimes and other times not. Truly unfair. I always thought soft opening just meant quiet opening and not much fanfare. Does soft opening to Disney mean it will open only on certain days till Grand Opening? I am totally confused & upset.

Just got back from MK. Was able to get in tonight for preview/rehearsal. I order the pork shank … Could not resist. This was a large chunk of meat. Roasted to the point where it simply came right off the bone… Overall was pretty good albeit a little greasy… Meat was most and tender. As side this area really looks beautiful. My wife and caught the wishes fireworks show right in front of Gastons tavern. Great spot to catch the show!

Jessica — You can definitely call Disney to see if they think it will be open when you get there. A soft open or “dress rehearsal” is pretty much a dry run to see if they have everything running properly. If something goes wrong, they’ll close and fix the issue. That’s what the soft open is for. Right now, Be Our Guest Restaurant is not serving food at all, but Gaston’s Tavern is serving food. Barring any huge issues, it should be open when your family is there. I would plan to go there, then ask at the guest relations desk when you arrive in Magic Kingdom if Gaston’s Tavern is open that day. If not, have a backup location to dine.
